Pest pressure in Minnesota
Minnesota's climate is humid continental, warm summers and very cold winters. Minnesota's cold climate limits most subtropical pests, but rodents, wasps, ants and bed bugs are major year-round issues. That climate profile is what drives the specific pest pressure MN homeowners deal with — and it's the reason pest control programs in Minnesota look different than they do in colder northern states.

Rodent intrusion is the #1 pest call in Minnesota October through April.
Carpenter ants
Damp framing in Minnesota's lake-country housing creates very high carpenter ant pressure.
Bed bugs
